Statewide Indoor Face Covering Requirement
Effective Tuesday, July 7.
At his July 6 COVID-19 press briefing, Governor Jim Justice advised that face coverings must now be worn in all public indoor places where social distancing cannot be maintained.
This does not apply to children under the age of nine, or to anyone who has trouble breathing or is unable to remove their mask without assistance.
